What is x when 67 divided by x equals 16?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 67 and the quotient 16?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 67 ÷ 16 = 4.1875

To prove this, let's compute 67 divided by 4.1875: 67 4.1875 = 16

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 67 divided by x gives a result of 16, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

67 x = 16

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 67 x x = 16 x
  2. 67 x x is equivalent to x x × 67 , which simplifies to 1 × 67 (or just 67 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 67 = 16 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 16: 67 16 = 16 x 16
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 4.1875 = x (or x = 4.1875 )

So, if the dividend is 67 and the quotient is 16, the divisor is 4.1875.
